There are lots of memories to choose from. Meals, barbeques, and above all entertaining talk! Mary shared tales of her amazing life, stories of events, of magical places, of food, of family... Experiences came to life, amusing, sometimes touching. Her long life reflected many different times,touched that of many different people, but her commitment to Bill and to her family shone through.
Mary was not physically a large lady - but, as my grandmother used to say, " Guid gear gaes in sma' bulk". She had presence, was always honest, sometimes forthright, and always there to support and comfort.
A few years ago while walking near their home here in Cyprus, she remarked, "I'm just a little old lady!" Bill immediately responded, " You'll never be a little old lady to me". Nor to any of us , Bill.
Mary lives on in family and friends, and won't be forgotten.
